It’s leggy, when seedlings don’t have enough light they reach for it , that’s why it’s stretched out . You need to move it to a better light source,u could try burying it deep, not much else to do

thank you! i go have grow lights, i’ll try them out! it’s been very muggy and cloudy this past week so that’s probably what it’s from. it’s ok that the stem bottoms are so thin? will they grow back? one looks like it’s on the urge of breaking

It won’t grow back , try burying it deep , otherwise it’s usually a lost cause . If it’s past the frost date I suggest starting them outside
